In Orechan, magic pulses in sync with the human body, and only women wield its most potent forms, drawn from their cycles of ovulation, menstruation, and the creation of life itself. Ree Falco is one of the most powerful Wielders alive, a once-in-a-generation talent who revolutionized the magical landscape by creating the first Realm Gate. But the Gate shattered barriers between worlds, leaving an entire reality in chaos, and Ree fled to a life of rural obscurity, vowing never to wield such power again.
That vow is broken when Atlas Timber, the man Ree once loved, arrives at her cottage with Viola, a fiery young Wielder whose abilities mirror Ree’s own. Viola is the daughter of an alternate version of Ree and Atlas; she’s also the key to repairing the failing Realm Walls, a crisis that could unravel every world in existence. As Ree reluctantly agrees to train Viola, Atlas’s presence stirs up long-buried feelings and Viola’s determination forces Ree to confront the specter of the woman she might have been.
But when a malevolent version of Ree from a ruined Realm emerges, a being corrupted by years of grief and unchecked magic, Ree is thrust into a battle for not just Viola’s life, but the survival of all existence. Creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin, and Ree must decide what pieces of herself she is willing to sacrifice to save the Realms—and the daughter she might have loved.
With plenty of romantic tension, a cozy, cottagecore setting, and a unique magic system based on menstrual cycles, Fallow Lies the Blood is set to become readers’ newest obsession.
